FORM PLANS FOR
EXTRA SESSIONS
OF CONVENTION
Republican Leaders Foresee
Possibility That Deadlock
Will Carry Meeting Over
To Second Week.
ChJfO Trihoov-Omah Bre I.tard Wire.
; Chicago, - May 29. Frank H.
Hitchcock, field manager for Gen
eral Leonard Wood, arrived in the
city today and "Presidential Row"
immediately began to take on fresh
activity, Mr. Hitchcock's appear
ance in advance of a national con
tention is generally accepted as a
signal that the real battle is on.
. He talked very little, but doubted
that the senatorial investigation into
campaign expenditures would have
much influence on the situation.
Talk of a "dark horse" continued
to spread during the day, despite the
assertion of Alvin T.'Hert, of Ken
tucky, that a "dark horse" was out
of the question. Former Gov. Frank
B. Willis, of Ohio, came in for con
, tiderable attention as a possible can-
oiuaie. xi e nas peen oeieaiea twice
oy James M. Cox, who stands out
.prominently as a democratic presi
thnjial possibility. Willis Would
have solid backing of the dry in
terests, v
That there is a possibility of a
deadlock, carrying the convention
over to the second week, is sWn
by the action of the republican
chiefs -who are making plans for
extra sessions. Tickets have been
printed in blocks of . six, the sixth
being good for Monday, June 14, If
the convention goes along on normal
lines, the nomination will be made
on Friday, June 11, but there are
signs of a king, grilling elimination
contest. There is also the possibility
that Wood, or some other strong
contender may get a majority on an
early ballot. J
"Prince Cupid," otherwise Kuhia
Klanianaolo, who is serving his
18th year ts Hawaiian delegate to
congress, will arrive Monday and
has sent word that he intends to
throw what strength he can muster
to Governor Lowden. They served
together, in congress for five years
and became fast friends. The Hawi
ians also want sofne relief in the
way of men of ability instead of
making their beautful islands a
dumping ground for political fav
orites who are unloaded upon them
in payment for campaign work in
the, United States.

ROADS COMPLETE
ARGUMENTS FOR
RATE INCREASE
Further Hearings Suspended
By Interstate Commerce
Commission Until June 7
Need Raise at Once.
Washington, May 29. Railroads
of the country today closed their
case before the Interstate Commerce
commission for increased freight
rates aggregating $1,017,000,000 an
nually. Further hearings were sus
pended by the commission until
June 7, to give shippers and state
railway commissions time to pre
pare for cross-examination of wit
nesses for the carriers.
During the hearings which began
Monday testimony was introduced
by the railroads to show the in
creased income is needed immedi
ately if the roads are to handle the
nation's commerce satisfactorily, for
otherwise government ownership is
inevitable. Relief only can come in
the form of increased rates or out of
the treasury of the United States,
the carriers claimed. Only the roads
that are strongest financially can
borrow money, it was stated, and
then only at high rates of interest.
Efficient service and ultimate saving
in operating expenses was promised.
Rate increases asked do not in
clude the wage demands of the em
ployes under consideration by the
railroad labor board estimated at
$1,000,000,000.
Rate increase, of 32.82 per cent
and treatment separate from the
western group which is asking an
advance of 24 per cent were re
quested by 38 carriers of the south
west. Columbus Haile, vice-president
of the Missouri, Kansas &
Texas railroad, presented the ap
plication which asked "that the total
revenues derived from advances in
freight rates of the western classifi
cation territory as a whole may be
so distributed as to more nearly ap
proximate the needs of the carriers
in the various sections."

NAT!
Designed for the Comfort
of Seven
While the strikingly low National Sextet touring car is ex
ceedingly good tolook upon, its pronounced style has not
been gained at the' sacrifice of comfort.
From hub (o hub, the Sextet measures 130 inches,which is am
ple for mounting custom-styled bodies of roomy dimensions.
One hundred and thirty inches, in fact, is accepted as the ideal
wheelbase length, since it imposes no restrictions on impres
sive appearance, seating and riding comfort, and ease of oper
ation. The seats of the Sextet are set twelve inches below the upper
body edge so that the passengers ride in the car and not on
top of it.
These seats are tilted back at just the right angle for lounging
ease, and are wide and deep. D( Me non-sag springs, curled
hair and pleated leather are used tor upholstery.
A desire to afford unusual riding comfort, above all else, fixed
the weight of the National Sextet touring car it 3,600 pounds.
Consequently, the car has sufficient poundage, scientifically
distributed, to ride the roughest roads with amazingly little
bumping of .sidesway.
The semi-elliptic springs, all around, are exceptionally 16ng,
measuring 38 and 6ol4 inches respectively, while their cush
ioning power is further augmented by the use of heavy Hart
ford shock absorbers, front and rear.
The National Sextet, in fact, will carry you as fast and as far
as you wisn to go witnout discomfort and without fatigue.
A demonstration is most convincing proof of this. May we not
have the pleasure of giving one?

For Famous Gangster
Chicago Tribune-Omaha Be Leased Wira.
Chicago, May 29. Rifle squads
from the police department and
crack shots from the detective force
are scouring the "jungles" back jf
the stock yards for "Gene" Geary,
notorious labor slugger, gunman
and gangster, with orders to kill him
on sight and explain afterwards.
Geary was recently acquitted of
the murder of Leonard Tripple, a
cab driver, with whom he had quar
reled over a woman. Thursday
nipht he started on a fresh rampage,
killing Harry J. Rockas, a man he
had never before met, but who hap
pened to fall under his murderous
3aze. After slaying his man, Geary
walked awav. whistling, passed
through Jim O'Leary's saloon and
stepped out of the back door into
that mysterious port of missing men
that harbors several other murdec
tzs. Geary's entire life has been
marked with brutality. He formerly
conducted a saloon, with room
above, and there were many shoot'
ings and beatings in that notoriou
resort. He was especially useful n
a labor slugger and is supposed ;
have been closely connected wit',
two .other murders, although his pe
culiar immunity enabled him to t
cape both times.
